Holistic Health Heroes
The Holistic Health Heroes Podcast is for health seekers who know it’s time to become your own health advocate!
Together, we will strive to answer the question, “How will you maintain your health in an increasingly toxic world?”
From superfoods and supplements to gadgets and lifestyle hacks, we’ll explore a full spectrum of holistic health modalities.
Sharing stories from natural product founders, and service providers, we aim to find and research holistic methods to help you save time in finding real solutions that may help you feel better naturally.
Host, Kery Knutson is certified as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Wellcoach and Yoga Teacher. She's worked in marketing for most of her career, so she loves storytelling. As co-owner of her family’s health food store, Nature’s Garden of Naples, creating a podcast to have conversations on all-things holistic health is a perfect fit!

131: Menopause, Mast Cell, Long COVID AND the Super Star Supplement Augmented NAC
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You may know NAC (N-acetylcysteine) as the supplement that helps your body make glutathione—but NAC has suddenly found itself at the center of some fascinating health conversations.
From Long COVID and the spike protein to menopause, mast cells, MCAS and histamine intolerance, this little sulfur-containing compound now has a much bigger story to tell.
In this episode, we connect four seemingly unrelated health conversations and ask why NAC keeps showing up in all of them. What does NAC have to do with the structure of the spike protein? Why might the hormonal roller coaster of perimenopause change the way some women respond to histamine? And how could NAC potentially help calm oxidative stress while, paradoxically, making certain histamine-sensitive people feel worse?
My featured "holistic health hero" in this episode is Dr. Tina Peers, whose journey from women’s health and menopause into histamine, mast cells, Long COVID and spike-protein research helps connect all the dots.
And then there’s Augmented NAC—a supplement that helped me personally get through some of the symptoms we discuss here.
